Hello again, one more status update! I've been away from the computer for the last week. Ideally, I was really hoping to get the 1.11.1 RC1 ready for review before leaving, but quite a few unexpected things have been consuming my time (not to mention more travelling coming up).
I'd like to offer my sincere apologies to those who have been waiting for a committer to review and merge their contributions. Personally, I haven't been looking at anything else, unless it's specifically tagged for the 1.11.1 release, and it's been weighing on me. At this point, it looks like we have a couple of alternatives: 1. Prepare a 1.11.1 RC1 as a candidate as a branch AS IS, with (again) apologies for those who have outstanding, unreviewed PRs, pushing the remaining JIRA tagged for 1.11.1 to a later release, or 2. Continue as we are to make sure that everyone's work is included and the release is as complete as possible, even if it means delaying a couple more weeks. Regardless, I'd love to have the discussion on our efficiency on getting contributions merged... ideally after we get this one big task finished :D If there's no strong objection, I can prepare a 1.11.1 RC1 tomorrow. If we decide to continue adding work to the branch, we can always reject that release candidate!
